As the healthcare system is once again under political attack and not being dealt with as adults who want better for our country should, I found this post unfinished from a few months back. The current topic not withstanding (please do your research before taking side) it is not easy to be a politician, on […]

I watched as the trucks arrived and the crew set up for the day. Having no idea how long it takes to dismantle and drop a 70 foot tall maple tree, I set up surveillance to track the progress. Spys were keeping me informed and the sounds of “The Chipper” alerted me to the momentum of […]

Sitting on a table, adjacent to my drawing board, is a small tome of little consequence to the outside world. Thus far only a few copies exist.

It’s funny how some drawings I remember making and some I don’t. Maybe I lost this sketchbook only to find it and be reminded of times a decade ago. Usually I go searching for a sketchbook knowing that one drawing is sitting on a page, with some recollection of a day or moment that inspired […]
